Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically at runtime  enable/disable  kernel code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if ``CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG`` is set, then all ``pr_debug()``/``dev_dbg()`` and ``print_hex_dump_debug()``/``print_hex_dump_bytes()`` calls can be dynamically enabled per-callsite.    

Symptoms   Trying to initialize a repo, for example:  $repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-mickledore -m imx-6.1.36-2.1.0.xml we have the below log: File "/home/username/bin/repo", line 51 def print(self, *args, **kwargs): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax   Workaround (1)   The first workaround consist in change the python alternatives (caused when you have installed two or more python versions). NOTE: in my case, the python version that i want to change as first priority is python3.8 $sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.8 1   Then we run: $sudo update-alternatives --config python    To verify if your python priority was changed successfully try: $python --version   You should see the version configured as priority number 1.     Workaround (2)   The workaround is very simple, only we need modify the repo file $ nano ~/bin/repo   and we will change the python interpreter in the first line (from python to python3): ORIGINAL FILE   EDITED FILE   After to do this change, repo will works fine again.     I hope this can helps to you!   Best regards.

  Environment i.MX8MP EVK, SDK2.15   The default rpmsg buffer size in SDK is 512Bytes(16 Bytes header + 496Bytes payload). This knowledge base will try to change the default buffer size in rpmsg framework.

In the IMX8MM SDK unfortunately we cannot find any example about of use a GPIO as an input with interrupt.  To use a GPIO as input with interrupt we need to keep in mind how the GPIO IRQs works in the ARM Cortex M4.   We can find in Table 7-2 (CM4 Interrupt Summary) of IMX8MMRM (IMX8MM Reference Manual) the GPIOs IRQs are divided by two parts:     Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 0 throughout 15  Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 16 throughout 31    This basically means, the pines of GPIOn from 0 to 15 are handled by Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 0 throughout 15 and the pines from 16 to 31 are handled by Combined interrupt indication for GPIOn signal 16 throughout 31.    In SDK we can find these definitions in:  <SDK root>/devices/MIMX8MM6/MIMX8MM6_cm4.h (Remember this is for IM8MM SDK)    In this example I will use GPIO5_IO12 (ECSPI2_MISO) as Input with IRQ and GPIO5_IO11 (ECSPI_MOSI) as Output of IMX8MM-EVK. I will connect the Output to the Input and will see the behavior of the IRQ in Rising and Falling edge.    For this example I will connect ECSPI2_MOSI (GPIO5_IO11) to ECSPI_MISO (GPIO5_IO12):   See the below definitions:   #define IN_GPIO   GPIO5  This define the GPIO base of the IN pin  #define IN_GPIO_PIN  12u  This define the pin number (for in)  #define IN_IRQ  GPIO5_Combined_0_15_IRQn  This define the IRQ number (72 in this case)  #define GPIO_IRQ_HANDLER  GPIO5_Combined_0_15_IRQHandler  This is a "pointer" to function that will handle the interrupt  #define IN_NAME  "IN GPIO5_IO12"  This is only a name or description for the pin    See below definitions:    #define OUT_GPIO  GPIO5  This is the GPIO base of OUT pin  #define OUT_GPIO_PIN  11u  This define the pin number (for out)  #define OUT_NAME  "OUT GPIO5_IO11"  This is only a name or description for the pin      Now the below section is the IRQ handler (which was defined before)😞   The GPIO_ClearPinsInterruptFlags(IN_GPIO, 1u << IN_GPIO_PIN); refers to GPIOx_ISR register:      For this example, the IRQ Handler will print "IRQ detected ............" in each interrupt.    We will create two different GPIOs config, one for Output and other one for Input with IRQ Falling edge:    Then configure the GPIOs and IRQ:     EnableIRQ refers to enable the 72 IRQ.   GPIO_PortEnableInterrupts refers to GPIOx_IMR: Finally, the example put the out GPIO5_IO11 in High state and then in low state many. First the IRQ is configured as Falling edge, then as Rising edge.     I will attach the complete source file.    To compile it you can use ARMGCC toolchain directly, but I like to use VSCode with MCUXpresso integration.  Once, when you have your .bin file (in my case igpio_led_output.bin) you can load to board with UUU tool: In your Linux machine: sudo uuu -b fat_write igpio_led_output.bin mmc 2:1 gpio.bin In U-boot board: u-boot=> fastboot 0   Then, when the .bin file was loaded, you can load to the CORTEX M4 in U-boot whit: u-boot=> fatload mmc 2:1 ${loadaddr} gpio.bin 7076 bytes read in 14 ms (493.2 KiB/s) u-boot=> cp.b 0x80000000 0x7e0000 0x10000 u-boot=> bootaux 0x7e0000 ## No elf image ar address 0x007e0000 ## Starting auxiliary core stack = 0x20020000, pc = 0x1FFE02CD... u-boot=>   NOTE: You can load the binary to cortex m4 with Custom bootscripts for practicity.   Once the binary loaded in M4 core you should see in seria terminal this logs (Remember GPIO5_IO11 and GPIO5_IO12 must be connected to get the same logs):    And the logs when you disconnect the GPIO5_IO11 and GPIO5_IO12 in execution time:  🔴Disconnection (Red color) 🔵Reconnection (Blue color)   I hope this can helps.     Best regards!    Salas. 

some customers doesn't have any issue on old bsp, but have bring up issue on new 6.1 bsp, this article is about this and how to fix this

Hello there. Here is a good way to use U-boot in an efficient way with custom scripts. The bootscript is an script that is automatically executed when the boot loader starts, and before the OS auto boot process. The bootscript allows the user to execute a set of predefined U-Boot commands automatically before proceeding with normal OS boot. This is especially useful for production environments and targets which don’t have an available serial port for showing the U-Boot monitor. This information can be find in U-Boot Reference Manual.   I will take the example load a binary file in CORTEX M4 of IMX8MM-EVK. In my case, I have the binary file in MMC 2:1 called gpio.bin and I will skip those steps because that is not the goal.   First, you need the u-boot-tools installed in your Linux machine: sudo apt install u-boot-tools   That package provide to us the tool mkimage to convert a text file (.src, .txt) file to a bootscript file for U-Boot.   Now, create your custom script, in this case a simple script for load binary file in Cortex M4: nano mycustomscript.scr  and write your U-Boot commands: fatload mmc 2:1 0x80000000 gpio.bin cp.b 0x80000000 0x7e0000 0x10000 bootaux 0x7e0000   Now we can convert the text file to bootscript with mkimage. Syntax: mkimage -T script -n "Bootscript" -C none -d <input_file> <output_file> mkimage -T script -n "Bootscript" -C none -d mycustomscript.scr LCM4-bootscript   This will create a file called LCM4-bootscript (Or as your called it).   A way to load this bootscript file to U-Boot is using the UUU tool, in U-Boot set the device in fastboot with command: u-boot=> fastboot 0 Then in linux with the board connected through USB to PC run the command: sudo uuu -b fat_write LCM4-bootscript mmc 2:1 LCM4-bootscript   Now we have our bootscript in U-Boot in MMC 2:1.   Finally, we can run the bootscript in U-Boot: u-boot=> load mmc 2:1 ${loadaddr} LCM4-bootscript 158 bytes read in 2 ms (77.1 KiB/s) u-boot=> source ${loadaddr} ## Executing script at 40400000 6656 bytes read in 5 ms (1.3 MiB/s) ## No elf image at address 0x007e0000 ## Starting auxiliary core stack = 0x20020000, pc = 0x1FFE02CD...   And the Cortex M4 booted successfully:    I hope this can helps to you.   Best regards.   Salas.  

Symptoms   On i.MX8MP, when inputting a 80% duty, 0.4V-1.8V, 3KHz square wave, we observed that the system may hang. We also tested i.MX8MN and i.MX8MM and observed the same phenomenon. In i.MX8MN RM, there's a note in GPC chapter:     We believe that the issue described in this note exists not only in the iMX8MN, but also in the iMX8MP and iMX8MM. Meanwhile, there is not only a problem with power down in this issue, but also a problem with wait mode. Diagnosis   In debugging, we find that avoiding accessing LPCR_A53_AD register in imx_set_cluster_powerdown can fix the issue. So we think that due to frequently power up/down of cores, cores have chances failed to power up. When the IRQ behavior become more complex, because the IRQ is an async event, it will come in any time. if the wait mode is enabled, in some conner case, the GPC internal LPM mode state machine will run into problem, then lead to system failure. Solution   1. A workaround patch that bypass the wait mode setting during the cpuidle.. See the patch attached. 2. Will add the Note about "SCU power down should not be enabled in wait mode" to i.MX8MP and i.MX8MM RM. 3. Will try to identify this issue into errta document, ticket TKT0632147.

Traditional non-matter devices cannot directly join the matter network. But Matter Bridge solves the problem. Matter bridge can join a Matter network as a Matter device and nonmatter devices need to be mapped to Matter network as a dynamic endpoint. In this way, other Matter devices can communicate with non-matter devices through dynamic endpoints. The Guide is a Matter Zigbee Bridge implement based on i.MX93 + K32W0.     Feature List • Matter over Ethernet • Matter over Wi-Fi • Register and Remove Zigbee Deivces • Connect Zigbee devices into Matter ecosystem seamlessly • Zigbee Devices o OnOff cluster o Temperature Sensor Cluster • Matter Actions o Start Zigbee Network o Zigbee Network Permit Join o Factory Reset • No limitation if migrating to other i.MX MPU like i.MX6ULL, i.MX8MP • OTBR and Zigbee bridge can be integrated into one single device

Usually, device tree source files are not a signal pure dts file. It could include dtsi, dts or C code heads .h files. Need C compiler finish the pre-compile to a pure dts file first. It is integrated inside the like Linux build system(Makefile, etc.). This document shows the original way to compile device tree. This document will show compile device tree under windows.

The configuration of DDR is very important. NXP provides a tool for configuring DDR for users of i.MX series products. Here are the details steps for it. Hope can do help for someone. 1\ The DDR part startup and initialization sequence of MX8MM:   The MX 8M series DDR tools include： DDR Register Programming Aid --->Configurate custom DDR initialization MSCALE DDR Tool（DDR Stress Test Tool） --->Test DDR initialization And DDR interface ---> Generate custom DDR initialization code for the u-boot SPL DDR RPA（RPA） is an Excel spreadsheet tool used to develop DDR initialization for specific DDR configurations (DDR device type, density, etc.) of users. RPA generates DDR initialization (in a separate Excel worksheet tab). Detailed explanations and introductions will be provided here. DDR stress testing tool is a software tool based Windows that initializes PHY and generates DDRC configuration Uboot source code to verify whether DDR initialization can be used for u-boot and OS startup. DDR stress testing script, this format is specifically used for DDR stress detection. First, copy the content from this worksheet tab, and then paste it into a text file, naming the document with the ". ds" file extension. Select this file when performing DDR stress testing. 2\i.MX8M series DDR tool work flow           Above is the DDR Tool flow for the i.MX8MM: DDR RPA Tool: Configure DDR parameters to generate DDR Stress Test script ". ds". DDR Sress Test Tool: Test DDR initialization and DDR interface, generate DDR initialization code for the u-boot SPL DDR driver. For the newest DDR RPA version as below：   https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX8MMini-m845S-DDR-Register-Programming-Aid-RPA/ta-p/1172443 In the above link, you can download the corresponding DDR configuration tools for i.MX8MM using different DDRs.   3\How to use this script to configure DDR parameters (1)Obtain the required DRAM data sheet from the DRAM supplier firstly. The DDR parameter configuration content will be completed in the "Register Configuration" worksheet tab.   (2)"Register Configuration"，Update the device information table to include DRAM information and system usage. DDR RPA tool:  Register Configuration---->Device Information table   It should be filled out based on the datasheet and relevant hardware circuit design of the selected DDR chip. Specific users can refer to the manual for selecting DDR chips and their own hardware design. Take the i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK board as example, it selects the Micron MT53D512M32D2DS-053 WT:D, we can go the Micron website to download the DDR’s datasheet and we can see bellow:   Density per channel (Gb)= Device density (Per Channel Per CS)=8Gb Number of ROW Addresses=R[15:0]=16 Number of Channels=2 (2 Channels i.MX8MM DDR is 32bit) Number of COLUMN Addresses=C[9:0]=10 Total DRAM density(Gb) Automatic calculation：Density per channel (Gb) * Number of Channels * Number of Chip Selects used  =8Gb * 2 * 1=16Gb=2GB Bus Width=M32=32bit: i.MX8MM DDR support 32bit Cycle Freq (MHz)=1500MHZ: The DDR controller clock of the i.MX8MM is set to 1500MHZ. The information filled in is shown in the table below:   (3)Browse through various shaded cells in the spreadsheet to update using data from the DRAM table (pay special attention to the "Legend" table to determine the meaning of different shaded cells; in many cases, these cells may not need to be updated). On the parameter filling page, we can also see the following table, with different colors indicating the need to modify and maintain the original parameters and the affected parameter information. On the register configuration tab, basically only the orange part of the color represents the bit segments that usually need to be updated, and the rest do not need to be modified or configured.   (4)Go to the BoardDataBusConfig tab, fill in the i.MX8MM data bus mapping to the memory device correctly. DDR RPA tool: BoardDataBusConfig ---->Configurate data bus bit   Users should pay special attention to ensuring that this worksheet is configured correctly, otherwise the LPDDR4 system may not function properly. The memory controller of i.MX8MM allows for BYTE internal swapping. For layout convenience, BYTE internal swapping is usually performed, so the BoardDataBusConfig column needs to be configured according to the actual schematic design. We can see the tab in the BoardDataBusConfig, user fill the i.MX8MM data bit connection to associated LPDDR4, the filling in of data bits here should be consistent with the order of our hardware design wiring, which means that if there are swapped data bits, the corresponding relationship must be filled in. Take the LPDDR4 connection to the i.MX8MM as example, the highest 8 bits on the channel B of the LPDDR4   connect to the side of DRAM_DQ00~DRAM_DQ07 of CPU, and the lowest 8 bits on the channel B of the LPDDR4 DRAM_DQ08~DRAM_DQ15 of CPU side，the lowest 8 bits on the channel A of the LPDDR4 connect to the DRAM_DQ16~DRAM_DQ23 of CPU side，the highest 8 bits on the channel A of the LPDDR4 connect to the DRAM_DQ24~DRAM_DQ31 of the CPU side. The i.MX8MM memory controller allows for BYTE internal swapping. For layout convenience, BYTE internal swapping is usually performed, and this needs to be filled in according to the actual wiring in the data bus.       (5)Generate the “.ds” file DDR RPA tool: DDR stress test file ----> “.ds”   Copy the content of the DDR stress test file into a text file and name it a. ds file. For subsequent DDR stress testing purposes.   4\Do the DDR Stress test and Generate the DDR Code The following is the workflow of the DDR tool for the MX8MM series:   Preparation Board: i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK Software download: mscale_ddr_tool_v3.31_setup.exe(Install it) PC:Window10 PC file .ds file Hardware requirements for the board: (Please note that these interfaces are necessary when using our stress testing tools) Serial download mode USB OTG port Debug UART port 4.1 Hardware connection   SW1101set 1010xxxxxx go to Serial Download mode, connect the USB-OTG and UART to PC, USB OTG is used for serial download of binary files: UART is used to communicate with users. Note: It is recommended to connect the USB OTG directly to the host PC, rather than through the USB Hub. When power on the board，we can see HID-compliant vendor-defined device and USB Input Device:   UART port are COM3 and COM4:   4.2 Open MSCALEDDR_Tool. exe in administrator mode for DDR parameter calibration and pressure testing：   Select serial port Select Search in Debug UART and you can read that the other two serial ports COM3 and COM4 have been tried. Click on the Connect button. It should be noted that we have two serial ports, one for the A core and the other for the M core. Here, COM4 must be selected to load the script normally. COM4 is used for the A core. Select Target Select the MX8M-mini，speed of CPU chosse1200MHZ, DDR LPDDR4 size 2GB. Select .ds file, Load DDR Script: Copy the generate mx8mm_micron_lpddr4_2gb_2d_1500m_200m_50m_32bit_1cs_RPAv22.ds to the path of the DDR TOOL, then press the Download button. After the download is successful, there will be a print message indicating the successful download and the startup information of the board. We can see the CPU parameters and DDR configuration.   Pres Calibration: This step mainly involves executing the DDR initialization and calibration process. If there is a failure, it is necessary to analyze the DDR problem based on the printed information. If there is no problem, the following interface will appear.   (5) If there are no problems after calibration, perform a pressure test. Only perform this operation when the calibration is passed. Run the test on all frequency set points. If the DDR pressure test passes, you can see that the test has passed successfully. If there is an error, you should search for the problem with the DDR based on the error message.   (6) Generate u-boot timing After the stress test is successfully completed, clicking the Gen Code button will generate a file lpddr4_timing. c, and then the lpddr4_timing. C file can be copied to the u boot directory.     5\ Modifying and configuring DDR frequencies that are not supported by default         The above test is for the frequency point 1500MHZ that is supported by default in our tool. RPA provides default DRAM PLL settings (DRAM frequency) based on the default settings supported in u-boot. If the customer is not using the default supported frequency, in addition to updating the new frequency in RPA, the new DRAM PLL settings should also be manually updated in the u boot SPL. (1) Firstly, in the RPA script, "Clock Cycle Freq (MHz)" is set to the frequency we need (2) Then search for 'memory set 0x30360054' in the RPA DDR stress test file worksheet tab, with a default setting of 1500MHZ.   We can see the DRAM PLL register and bit settings：   For special frequencies, we have a calculation formula here: DDR_freq = [(24MHz x pll_main_div)/(pll_pre_div x 2^pll_post_div)] x 2 1500 = [(24 x 250) / (8 x 2^1)] x 2 Bellow are some special examples of the required configurations for various frequencies:     Finishing configuration, create a. ds test DDR script in the RPA script to specify the frequency of this configuration. （3）After creating a DDR script for the DDR stress testing tool, run the calibration and perform the DDR pressure test. Generating the lpddr4_timing.c, modify the required DDR rate parameters Manually. （4）Modify the DRAM PLL，DRAM_freq = DRAM_PLL x 2 in SPL，u-boot SPL DDR driver can will not automatically change DRAM PLL based on generated code. Therefore, users will need to manually modify the dram_pll_init  for the required DDR PLL parameter.

One of the most popular use cases for embedded systems are projects destinated to show information and interact with users. These views are called GUI or Graphic User Interface which are designed to be intuitive, attractive, consistent, and clear. There are many tools that we can use to achieve great GUIs, mostly implemented for platforms such as Web, Android, and iOS. Here, we will need to introduce the concept of framework, basically, it is a set of tools and rules that provides a minimal structure to start with your development. Frameworks usually comes with configuration files, code snippets, files and folders organization helping us to save time and effort. Also, it is important to review the concept of SDK or Software Development Kit which is a set of tools that allows to build software for specific platforms. Usually supplies debugging tools, documentation, libraries, API’s, emulators, and sample code. Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit by Google that help us to create applications with great GUIs on different platforms from a single codebase. Depends on the reference, you can find Flutter defined as a framework or SDK and both are correct, however, an SDK could be a best definition thanks to Flutter supplies a wide and complete package to create an application in which framework is also included. This article is aimed at those that are in a prototyping stage looking for a different tool to develop projects. Also, this article pretends to be a theoretical introduction explaining the most important concepts. However, is a good practice to learn more about reviewing the official documentation from Flutter. (Flutter documentation | Flutter) Here is the structure used throughout this article: What is Flutter? Flutter details Platforms Programming language Official documentation Flutter for embedded systems What is Flutter? Flutter was officially released by Google in December 2018 with a main aim, to give developers a tool to create applications natively compiled for mobile (Android, iOS), web and desktop (Windows, Linux) from a single codebase. It means that as a developer, Flutter will create a structure with minimal code, configuration files, build files for each operating system, manifests, etc. in which we will add our custom code and finally build this code for our preferred OS. For example, we can create an application to review fruit and vegetable information and compile for Android and iOS with the same code. A basic Flutter development process based on my experience looks like the following diagram: Flutter has the following key features: Cross-platform development. Flutter allows the developer to create applications for different platforms using a single codebase. It means that you will not need to recreate the application for each platform you want to support.   Hot-reload. This feature allows the developer to see changes in real time without restarting the whole application, this results in time savings for your project.   High Performance Flutter apps achieve high performance due to the app code is compiled to native ARM code. With this tool no interpreters are involved.   UI Widgets Flutter supplies a set of widgets (UI components such as boxes, inputs text, buttons, etc.) predefined by UI systems guidelines Material on Android and Cupertino for iOS. Source: Material 3 Design Kit | Figma Community Source: Design - Apple Developer   Great community support. This feature could be subjective but, it is useful when we are developing our project find solutions to known issues or report new ones. Because of Flutter is an open source and is widely implemented in the industry this tool owns a big community, with events, forums, and documentation. Flutter Details Supported Platforms With Flutter you can create applications for: Android iOS Linux Debian Linux Ubuntu macOS web Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge Windows Supported deployment platforms | Flutter Programming Language Flutter use Dart, a programming language is an open-source language supported by Google optimized to use on the creation of user interfaces. Dart key features: Statically typed. This feature helps catching errors making the code robust ensuring that the variable’s value always match with the declared variable’s type. Null safety. All variables on Dart are non-nullable which means that every variable must have a non-null value avoiding errors at execution time. This feature also, make the code robust and secure. Async/Await. Dart is client-optimized which means that this language was specially created to ensure the best performance as a client application. Async/Await is a feature part of this optimization making easier to manage network requests and other asynchronous operations. Object oriented. Dart is an object-oriented language with classes and mixin. This is especially useful to use on Flutter with the usage of widgets. Compiler support of Just-In-Time (JIT) and Ahead-of-Time (AOT) JIT provides the support that enables the Hot Reload Flutter feature that I mentioned before. It is a complex mechanism, but Dart “detects” changes in your code and execute only these changes avoiding recompiling all the code. AOT compiler produces efficient ARM code improving start up time and performance. Official documentation Flutter has a rich community and documentation that goes from UI guidelines to an Architectural Overview. You can find the official documentation at the following links: Flutter Official Documentation: Flutter documentation | Flutter Flutter Community: Community (flutter.dev) Dart Official Documentation: Dart documentation | Dart Flutter for embedded systems So far, we know all the excellent features and platforms that Flutter can support. But, what about the embedded systems? On the official documentation we can find that Flutter may be used for embedded systems but in fact there is no an official supported platform. This SDK has been supported by their community, specially there is one repository on GitHub supported by Sony that provides documentation and Yocto recipes to support Flutter on embedded Linux. To understand the reason to differentiate between Flutter for Linux Desktop with official support and to create a specific Flutter support for embedded Linux is important to describe the basics of Flutter architecture. Based on the Flutter documentation the system is designed using layers that can be illustrated as follows:   Source: Flutter architectural overview | Flutter We can see as a top level “Framework” which is a high-level layer that includes widgets, tools and libraries that are in contact with developers. Below “Framework,” the layer “Engine” is responsible of drawing the widgets specified in the previous layer and provides the connection between high-level and low-level code. This layer is mostly written in C++ for this reason Flutter can achieve high performance running applications. Specifically for graphics rendering Flutter implements Impeller for iOS and Skia for the rest of platforms. The bottom layer is “Embedder” which is specific for each target and operating system this layer allows Flutter application to run as a native app providing the access to interact with different services managed by the operating systems such as input, rendering surfaces and accessibility. This layer for Linux Desktop uses GTK/GDK and X11 as backend that is highly dependent of unnecessary libraries and expensive for embedded systems which have constrained resources for computation and memory. The work around founded by Sony’s Flutter for Embedded Linux repository is to change this backend using a widely implemented backend for embedded systems Wayland. The following image illustrates the difference between Flutter for Linux Desktop and Flutter for Embedded Linux.   Source: What's the difference between Linux desktop and Embedded Linux · sony/flutter-embedded-linux Wiki · GitHub   Source: What's the difference between Linux desktop and Embedded Linux · sony/flutter-embedded-linux Wiki · GitHub Here is the link to the mentioned repository: GitHub - sony/flutter-elinux: Flutter tools for embedded Linux (eLinux) Finally, I would like to encourage you to read the official Flutter documentation and consider this tool as a great option compared to widely used tools on embedded devices such as Qt or Chromium. Also, please have a look to a great article written by Payam Zahedi delving into the implementation of Flutter for Embedded Linux measuring performance and giving conclusions about the usage of Flutter in embedded systems. (Flutter on Embedded Devices. Learn how to run Flutter on embedded… | by Payam Zahedi | Snapp Embedded | Medium).    

On behalf of Gopise Yuan. This is an update for the DRM framebuffer capture tool I used to share with the team. Some enhancement added. Might be useful for debugging some display related issues.   Some special notes: Behavior of DRM subsystem is different between L4.x and L5.x. For L4.x, you can capture the RGB buffer without any problem. But, there’s no API for YUV (multi-plane) buffer. To capture YUV, need to apply “kernel_0001-drm-Add-getfb2-ioctl_L4.14.98.patch”. For L5.x, mapping/capturing the internal buffer is not allowed by default due to security reason. A simple change in “0001-drm-enable-mapping-of-internal-object-for-debugging_L5.x.patch” can disable this guard. Capture raw data only. RGB and YUV (packed/planar, 420/422) supported. Support de-tile on “Amphion tile” (VPU, NV12 only) and “Super tile” (Vivante GPU). Please use “-t” to enable this. Other tile might not be supported. This is a static linked binary. You can run it on any ARM64 based Linux/Android system in theory (prerequisites in item #1). If you need source code, come to me.   To get more details on how to use it, use “-?” option: DRM screen capture DRM based screen capture program Usage:     ./drmfbcap [OP] [ARG] [OP] OPeration (optional):     -v Show version.     -? Show help information.     -i Show information about target DRM device only (no capture).     -t Perform de-tile for tile format.     -d DRM device to open. [ARG] should contain the path to the device node. Default: '/dev/dri/card0'     -o Output folder. [ARG] should contain the path to the output folder. Default: '.'     -p Specific plane # to capture. [ARG] should contain the plane number. If no '-p' specified, capture all planes   Example:     ./drmfbcap   Capture all planes on default DRM device.     ./drmfbcap -d /dev/dri/controlD64   Capture all planes on '/dev/dri/controlD64' device.     ./drmfbcap -p 44 -t -o /sdcard   Capture plane 44, do de-tile after capture and then output to /sdcard/.   Raw buffer capture will be done for each enabled/target plane and one file for each. Captured file will be saved to './' if not specified. --- By Gopise, 2022/08   Updated_2023_10_16: continuous capture (repeat mode) support with this link: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/DRM-screen-capture-tool/ta-p/1725363
